   Dear Mastodon admins,

   I strongly recommend taking swift action to ban the following servers, as they pose significant risks to the integrity of the Mastodon network and the safety of its users. These servers are engaging in activities that are not only harmful to our community but also violate the values we stand for.

   1. shortstacksran.ch: This server has been circulating posts that promote racism, which is completely unacceptable in our community. The administrator’s behavior is highly concerning, as they exhibit clear troll-like tendencies. Their posts make it evident that they are intentionally provoking and spreading harmful content. Allowing this server to continue operating on Mastodon could lead to further dissemination of hate speech, undermining the inclusive and respectful environment we strive to maintain.

   2. aipub.social: This server is involved in activities related to AI and what can only be described as generative theft, which is a growing concern for the Mastodon ecosystem. There are serious allegations that this server might be engaging in unethical practices, including potentially stealing usernames and passwords through IP address tracking. This poses a direct threat to the security and privacy of Mastodon users. The presence of such a server compromises trust within our community and could deter new users from joining or participating.

   For the sake of protecting our community from these malicious actors, I urge you to consider banning these servers. It’s crucial that we act decisively to maintain the safety, security, and positive atmosphere that makes Mastodon a welcoming space for everyone.

     @NicholasTheSaver I looked at some posts on shortstacksran, just a sampling, and I didn't see racism. I did see posts that, I thought, were inappropriate and walk the line, for reasons other than racism. I limited the server to keep their posts off the public timeline and prevent boosting. People are still free to create follow relationships (none here, anyway). If you see a racist post that the Admin won't act on, open a report.

     It seems all the accounts I sampled are owned by low IQ people. But, unless I see evidence that the admin allows racism or allows the breaking of serious rules, I won't block them. I need strong proof before I block another server.

     As for servers involved in AI because they might steal something, all servers, because they have people behind their accounts, might steal something. There's no rule here against servers that focus on AI if that's what they focus on. I didn't check anything on the server. And I am not against AI. I don't believe AI=evil.

     @give story behind aipub.social is that they use AI to steal information like, where we live and which accounts we follow

     Basically shortstacksran.ch is posting something that Mastodon doesn't like, which is racisms (in general).

     About aipub.social, they might steal our data like what happened to me on my old account ( @nicholas_the_saver ) which was hacked and data stolen and they are AI to devoted to generative theft

     @NicholasTheSaver I'd be interested to learn more about:

     "There are serious allegations that this server might be engaging in unethical practices, including potentially stealing usernames and passwords through IP address tracking."

     Please can you shed some light on the allegations?
